There are two versions, one thicker than the other (the thicker one comes with a disk, too). Of course, while it is in particular useful for Borland's Turbo C++, it is a great C reference in general if you're still learning C. This isn't a particularly advanced book; if you're looking for something advanced, I've had one recommended to me called Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, by W. Richard Stevens, although I can't say anything about it personally. The latter book I got for about $70 canadian, the former I got for $30 second hand.. I expect it would be $45-60 new (canadian).

Heehee, now if someone could explain these to me, I'd be set.. :) (btw, PLEASE snip out any non-relevant quoted text.. a lot of that had NOTHING to do with your message. :)
